The app will also feature a new Manc Yourself feature allowing users to make their very own Mancmoji using their phone camera. This can then be sent to friends in messages straight from the Mancmoji keyboard.

Fanmoji founder Tim Webber said the specially designed emojis are a great way to celebrate Manchester’s cultural heritage.

He said: “We think, across the categories we’ve covered we’ve got a happy mix of old and new Manchester, with plenty of depth but something that’ll still be useful in everyday messaging and chat.

“Mancmoji will give people an interesting, visual way to communicate and make their messages more relevant to their everyday lives than the standard emoji set allows.

“The response we had to the poll we ran, allowing the people of Manchester to vote on the final few things that’d make the app, was great and showed it’s an idea that people are definitely interested in.”

Illustrator James said be really enjoyed working on the project adding: “Capturing the buildings, and making them recognisable in a minimal design style was the hardest part of the challenge. Manchester’s architecture has a distinct and unique style in my eyes, and ensuring I retained that in the small space provided was important.

“The sport ones were also fun, while I think the phrases are great to use, and might get seen most in the texts and messages of Mancunians from hereon in.”
